Anton Ferdinand retains England hope

QPR defender Anton Ferdinand hopes to break into the England side at some point in the future.

Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand has revealed that he has not given up on getting into the England team.

Despite making 17 appearances at Under-21 level, the 27-year-old has never been capped at for the senior side.

"I want to be the best I can be," he told the London Evening Standard. "I would like to have a chance of playing for my country.

"I played a lot of games for the Under-21s and if you ask the managers who were there with me, Stuart Pearce and Peter Taylor, I never looked out of place, I looked comfortable at international level. It's more of a thinking game and I thrive like that.

"If I'm playing well, I'd like to think I'm in with a chance because I believe I'm good enough to play for my country and if given a chance I'd take it with both hands."

Ferdinand is expected to feature for QPR when they host Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.
